R’ Chaim Yechiel ben Malka (Rothman) remains comatose since the massacre in the Har Nof shul. He is one of the survivors of the Islamic terror attack in Kehillos Bnei Torah on Agassi Street in the Har Nof neighborhood of Yerushalayim on 25 Mar Cheshvan 5775 (November 18, 2014).
Rav Chaim was moved to the Beit Levinstein Rehabilitation Hospital, which is designed for long-term care. R’ Chaim is the father of ten children. His wife Mrs. Risa Rothman reports that he is “ever so slowly” showing tiny signs of consciousness. Mrs. Rothman calls on the tzibur to be mispallel for her husband as well as doing acts of chessed in his name towards his recovery.
Murdered in that attack were HaRav Moshe Twersky HY”D, Rav Aryeh Kupinsky HY”D, Rav Kalman Ze’ev Levine HY”D and R’ Avraham Goldberg HY”D.

Is there somewhere that we can make financial contributions for his family? All the victims families were helped but not his (as far as I know)
for some reason were not hearing or being urged enough to daven for him. Thanks YWN for reminding us. He is a very special man/father of a big family. I think YWN should do some campaign to urge readers to daven for him. Many of these victims had well known family members and friends that did that job and we must get together to do more for him.
Tomchei Shabbat Har Nof are collecting for all the families. +972-2-6536117. Tax receipts available.
